Giving it more thought, here's some more info:
1) It only does it when the engine is hot
2) It does not make the noise when the engine is in gear
3) It does not make the noise when the bike is driving
4) It does not make the noise when the clutch is pulled in
5) It only does it when the bike is put into neutral from gear, and only intermittently

Nothing was leaking from my primary. The bearing & race on the inner were shot. I hope this is the last time I have to have the damned primary off. Two months ago I had everything off to replace my entire clutch assembly because my faulty starter wrecked my ring gear. Total repair costs to-date are almost 3 grand. Hooray.

The Baker High Torque Bearings fit HD 91-07, HD changed the size of the race in 08 so it looks like I'm going with HD part # 34091-08 plus gaskets.

I was on the road heading back from Rolling Thunder the other day when my trans mainshaft bearing crapped out too. An '07 RK with 30K miles and she started that scrapping sound on the way up. Was hoping to make it home but no go. Another Vet told me his '07 did the same thing too at about 30K.
